An ideally located 69 acre rural retreat, Hansen Farm is a perfect country getaway or permanent residence for those seeking a treechange in the world famous Scenic Rim region just 55 minutes from central Brisbane.
Since purchasing the dilapidated property almost two years ago, the current owners have undertaken a massive renovation of the Queenslander house and extensive clean up of the land to create a fabulous country homestead with fenced paddocks and enclosures suitable for horses, cattle and other livestock.
With sweeping views across to Cunningham’s Gap and the Border Ranges, enjoy stunning vistas across the green paddocks from the homestead’s oversized verandah and deck. The view is particularly magnificent at sunset against the silhouette of the distant mountains. Hansen Farm is a perfect place to enjoy equestrian pursuits, run some cattle, get off grid and grow your own veges, whilst immersing yourself in the the country lifestyle of the Scenic Rim with its celebrated local paddock to plate food culture. Local events such as Eat Local Week have put the region on the map, as has Lonely Planet Travel Guide’s Best in Travel 2022 inclusion. The guide names the top 10 countries, cities and regions to visit, and the Scenic Rim was the only Australian inclusion. This edition places particular emphasis on best sustainable travel experiences and named the Scenic Rim 8th in the Top 10 Regions.
The beautifully renovated homestead at Hansen Farm has three large bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study, rustic kitchen and adjoining dining room, central lounge area and a large outdoor undercover entertaining area. The master bedroom has direct access to one bathroom with claw bathtub, shower and toilet, as well as French doors out to the spacious verandah to the side. The other two bedrooms enjoy a newly installed second bathroom with oversized shower, a second toilet and modern vanity, with lovely views across paddocks out to the mountains.
The house is airconditioned and has fans in the bedrooms to keep cooler in summer, though the Queenslander features including high ceilings, a central hallway for breezes, and being raised on stilts allows good air flow throughout. In winter, the wood fire stove in the kitchen creates good heat throughout the home. Freshly painted inside and out, additional new features include enlarged windows and doors to allow additional light to flow into the residence. There is a new gas hot water system and several water tanks capturing rainfall from the house and sheds.
Established gardens surround the home, with an historic pine tree as the centrepiece. The enlarged house yard is completely fenced with post and rail, with gated laneways leading to the secure horse paddocks and larger paddocks beyond suitable for cattle or spelling. There is a large barn for storing hay or machinery, with all weather gravel road access. Both the barn and a separate dairy are connected to power. Two large dams and one smaller stock dam and a creek provide plenty of water for horses, stock and other animals. There are four 5000 litres tanks and four concrete troughs for future use.
Close to the house are a detached laundry and large 9m x 6m four bay shed with undercover parking for cars, utes and floats. There is also a potting shed as well as two historic slab huts further away from the main house which could be transformed into Airbnb accommodation or wedding and events venues by the entrepreneurally minded. A firepit with barbecue creates another lovely space for entertaining and relaxing.
All the hard work has been done at Hansen Farm, tranforming it into an idyllic country retreat ready for its next owners to escape the city at weekends, or to make a permanent greenchange to enjoy the fresh air and smell the roses with a quieter life.
Situated midway between Yamanto and Boonah, close to the turn-off to Beaudesert and Mount Tamborine, Hansen Farm is well located with easy acess to both Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and just half an hour from the business centre of Ipswich CBD.
